When all fit who's the better centre back. At the moment I think Kyle Bartley is the best on form and is fitting in perfectly, playing a role, providing height and strength and creating a nice partnership and combination with ash. |  | | |  |

Bartley for WH a definite. A more urgent question is as to who will replace Taylor? |  |

If it ain't broken don't fix it. Got to be Bartley, because he hasn't put a foot wrong since he came into the side. [Post edited 5 Dec 2014 16:21]

apart from slapping Aguero to the ground. Not an easy thing to do is sit Aguero down so that was god. |  |

When we are cruising 3-0 give Fernandez some game time and rest Ash |  |

Hopefully we can keep three with us. |  |

Bartley. He's bided his time well and deserves his run in the side.
Really looking forward to the Carroll v Bartley battle. Carroll has bossed our defence in the past. |  |

As the question who is the best the correct answer has got to be an Argentina international.
For Sunday's game I would stick with Bartley |  | | |

Very very harsh on Amat who was arguably our best defender in the early part of the season before his injury
But I think your correct
There can't be many sides in the league/world who have the depth at centre half that we do |  |

Fair play they've all been outstanding so far and they've all taken their chance ,so it's the old chestnut of whoever is fit in the chair plays until injury or bad form then the next incumbent has to be removed the same way and so on ,healthy completion is great for the club as long as no toys out the pram scenarios start |  | | |

I wouldn't call it harsh on Amat, more like bad luck with the timing of of his injury, not that there is a good time to get injured.
If Bartley was dropped in favour of Amat, now that's what I would call harsh.
Having 4 class center backs is fantastic, but it's going to give Monk a few headaches when all 4 are fully fit. | |

For me, they're all good. But Fed is top of those 3. He's a quality player who will only get better for us the more he plays. Bartley has been great though in this spell. It's a nice position to be in. |  | | |

It is rumoured that Federico can also play wide left. If true, that might be worth experimenting with at some point. | | | |

He's a talented footballer who can play, Im sure he could play anywhere across the back 4 possibly even in front of it, probably better than the other 3 including Ash, in my humble opinion. |  |

My pennies' worth - previously, Bartley has been average apart from a couple of performance but has been a lot better since he was given his latest chance. He has still been suspect and was lucky after his spat with Aguero.
Amat has further matured again this season and you can see exactly why he has had international with Spain and Catalonia. I think he will develop into a player of the skill and stature of Fernandez and that has to be the right answer.
Federico is an awesome skillful and intelligent defender. |  |

Fede Fernandez for me. |  |

Fernandez is a class above the other three, including Ash.
I wouldn't be surprised to see either Amat or Bartley loaned out in January to a Prem/foreign side.
Bartley hold the shirt now though and deservedly so given his performances since slotting in. |  | | |

If Batley continues to keep his place and himself and Fernandez are preferred to Amat, Amat might just leave next season since we are getting rid of our spanians.
But let's not think that far ahead and enjoy the depth in our centre half position with four great centre backs. | | | |

This is really the revelation to me in this thread.
Absolutely he needs to do it if he can, on much more than an experimental basis, and on both sides if possible.
We clearly have a surplus of talent in the middle of the defensive center, and are much more thin on the outside.
Picture FF, with Ash, KB/JA, and Rangel/Taylor; any combination of those 4 on the field at the same time. We go from having a good defence to having a really great one! |  |

Might be worth trying in a cup game if this is true. Could be good cover for LB. Has Amat ever played as full back? It's asking a lot for a player to understand the positioning of both centre back and full back to a decent level.
Have there been any really good examples of players who were equally good in both positions? |  | | |

Play Bartley | | | |

Bartley yes.
More pressing next month is the replacements / back up for Taylor and Rangel. [Post edited 6 Dec 2014 9:45]
